John McCain’s funeral saw a galaxy of leaders pay tribute to the late senator. Amid the solemn ceremony, a heart-warming moment between Michelle Obama and George W Bush caught the internet’s attention. In a video clip, which has since gone viral, Bush can be seen passing candy to the former first lady of the United States who is seated next to him for the funeral service.
